Has’ing* of Pennsylvania, has approved the Farr compulsory educational bill, recently passed by the Legislature, giving as bi* rea-ons for signing it that there appeared to tie throughout the commonwealth a genuine desire for such a law, i that he had not received a single protest from any citizen against it; that it Ind parsed the legislature by a large vote. He says: “This measure provides for compulsory education in perhaps the least objectionable lorm to those w ho oppose it on principle, and offends as little against the personal rights of the citizen as possible.” Long .tudieinl CwrOrr, Last Monday Justice Field celebrated the thirty ---* i-i.rul anniversary of his entering upon the duties of a member of the United State* Supreme Court.

Insubordination Is Said to Exist in the Navy to an Alarmaiic I>exree. It seems probable that the issue betyveen the Navy Department and Admiral Meade, growing out of remarks of

the latter in a public interview reflecting upon the administration, will become s celebrated case in <*ur naval annals, ; The admiral has been retired from with a year's leave of ababseaee, at his own request, and it wa* subsequent to the

granting of this that the interview con tain.ng the objectionable remark* was published. The naval regulations expressly f irbid officers from discussing public matters through the press or from criticising or commenting upon the acts and policy of those in authority. The duty of officers, both in the nary and the army, is to obey orders unquestioningly and to refrain from criticism upon their superiors. It would seem that these regulations were violated by Admiral Meade and surprise has been expressed in naval circles that an oflfeer of Admiral Meade's rank and experience, entirely familiar, of course, with the regulations, should hare committed so grave an infraction of them and manifested such a spirit of insubordination. Secretary Herbert, in speaking of the matter the other day. stated that the President was shocked at the recent prevalence of insubordination among naval officers. At no time for thirty-five years, it is said, have there been so many case, of this character. The Secretary said that there were more indictments pending now against naval officers for offenses against the zliscipline and good order of the navy than at any time since before the civil war. Naming Children In Germany. In some provinces of the German empire there is an old decree in force forbidding the giving of names not found in the calendar of saints or taken from ancient history. An English gentleman writes to the London News, saying that while in Germany he wished to have his son baptized Francis, but was prevented by the authorities on the abovenamed grounds. He explained that Francis Is short for Franciskus. which Is In the German calendar, and that Sir Francis Drake and Francis Becon might be regarded as belonging to ancient history. But no attention was paid to this plea. He Anally appealed to the courts, but the case was decided against him, and be will have to pay a fine or be sent to prison.

INCOME TAX INVALID. SUPRFMh COURT DECLARES |J UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Mecieion Goen Mach Further than PrevioaM One—Full Bench Present M hen Opinion Is Read-Jackiton, Ha r . lao. Brow n and M bite Favnr the Act. Whole Law Knocked Out. In the judgment of the Supreme Court that portion of the revenue law of relating to the tax on income® is “inoperative, void and w><x>n»titution*l.“ Id riving at thia conclusion the court took ’ :=* view that, while worn? section® of the lawmight be «• jstitutivnal if taken up separately, the law was so framed that it could L-ft b* - resident! equitably excepting as a whole. In the opinion of the court C&ngrt-s® would not have enacted the law if it had supposed that that portion of it relating to income® on real estate and bonds would be declared unconstitutional while thfection® impo>.ug a tax on business, franchises and privileges would be held to be valid and enforceable. It was dearly not the purp*»se of Congress to levy a tax on occupations, professions and other forms of enterprise and labor, and to exempt real estate and bonds. It was the aim of Congrew to tax capital, and as the court was practically unanimous in the conclusion that to tax income from real estate and municipal and State bonds was unconstitutional there would be a manifest injustice in upholding the law in part and declaring it invalid In part. The vote resulted: Five against the con•tittrtionality of the law to four for the law. Those against th? law- were Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field. Gray, Brewer and Shiras; forth? law, Justn e® Harlan. White, Brows and Jacks Chief Jasti?? Fuller read the opinion and th? conclusions of th? court are as follows: 1. We adhere to th? opJniwn already an nounced that taxes on real estate being indisputably direct taxes, taxes on th? rent® or income of real estate are equally direct taxes. 2. We are of th? opinion that tax--* on personal property or on the income of personal projM r'y ar? likewise direct taxes 3. The tax imposed by sections 27 to 37, Inclusive, of the act of i?<M, so far as it falls on the income of real estate and <>n personal property, being a direct tax w ithin the meaning of the constitution and therefor? unconstitutional and void. !•? cause not according to representation. al < -? s--’ *-s consti”:- 4 one entire scheme of taxation are nec*s sarily invalid. The decree® hereinbefore entered in this court will be vacated. The decrees be!<>w will be reversed and the cases reman !* d with instruction® t«» grant th** relief prayed. Sections 27 to 37 of the tariff act of 1894. referred to in the conclusions of the court in the opinions, are all the section® of the act relating tv the income tax. s*» that the entire income tax iavr it deoiar*ii void specifically. OUR POSTAL SERVICE. A Comparison of Poetoflice® Here am! in Other Conn!r*e*.

It costs the p»; pic of the United Si ate® about $6,000,000 a year to maintain rhe postal service. No other country in the world has so large a deficiency in postal revenues. Eng.a nd makes sl3.soo.<«><* from it every year. France makes a pfit of $9,000,000. Germany's profit i* more than ss,<M*o-000. Twenty of th* countries of the Postal Union have surpluses and fourteen of them have deficient ies. The Argentine Republic 1 « $2,000,000 a year; Russia. $1,750 Canada, $SS0,(l00, and Japan. Queensland, Bulgaria, Salvador, Uruguay. N -r South W f • s. Siam, Lnxrmburg. Gre< < •» and Bolivia pay smaller sums for the ckivenience of those who write letters and those who receive them. The Post Office Department of the United States employs 175.555 worker*. Germany comes second with 155.424; Great Britain third, with 131,459; France fourth, with 57,828. The United States, with limited free collection and delivery. has an average = f less than one letter box to each post office. Only 610 ot the post offices in the United States have free delivery—less than one per cent. Germany has an average of three letter boxes to each post office, and Franco, with her 7.369 post offices, has 61.609 letter boxes. There is a very remarkable difference in the character of the accommodations given in these countries. The number of letter boxes in the United States is 53.556: in Germany, 92.202; in Great Britain. 44.697, or more than two to each office; in British India. 31.542. But Japan makes a remarkable showing in this particular. There are only 3.776 post offices in Japan, but there are 31,243 letter boxes to re- eive the mail for these offices, an average of more than eight to each office. The whole number of letter boxes in use in the world is 424.247. But the real value of a postal service is shown largely by the number of post offices in proportion to the population, or the area covered. And here the United States falls short. Switzerland has ft post office to every 4.7 square miles of territory, and Queensland has a post office for every 428 inhabitants. These are the leaders in these two classes. Ihe United States holds the fifteenth place in the list cf post offices in proport’<» ato area, and the seventh place in the list of post offices in proportion to population. There is a post office in this country to every square miles, and a post office to every 923 inhabitants. In the sending and receiving of foreign mail Germany comes first and the United States second. Germany receive® 69.000.000 foreign letters. 13.000,000 foreign postal cards, 25,750,000 prints and commercial papers and 3,750.000 sample® every year. The United States receives 51.500.000 letters, 2.250.000 postal cards. 44.250,000 papers and 750,000 sample® every year. A Texan attended a theatrical performance in Kt.
